Their simple, container-like forms hold a thousand memories and a thousand more to be. Every day I look forward to crossing the street between each building, encountering on either short journey something I have never seen before, something I have seen countless times. As I write these lines, Houston's early spring saturates the city with the supplest tonalities of green. I am reminded of other springs, of other architectures, of the forgiving aroma of the sea. The world always moves slowly across the enormous weight of each day. Architecture invites moments of profound lightness; its volumes, its spaces, have the ability to ground us while revealing the ethereality of that which remains constant.
